The pain from the stretching is getting worse...

After having Emma last December and getting pregnant this summer, I knew that I'd have more rlp this time around but damn. This is much worse than I thought. The pain is worse and concentrated to where my internal c-section scar is. I can feel the pulling upwards on both sides. I've tried standing up slowly, putting pressure to it to lessen the pain but it's getting more difficult to deal with.

I'm really expecting to hear at my next ultrasound on Monday that I have a uterine window now.

Has anyone gotten pregnant soon after a c-section and had worse growing pains?

    Oddly enough, it's been the opposite for me. With my DS, I had awful RLP starting at 8 weeks and it didnt go away until after DS was here. Everytime I sneezed or got up from sitting or laying down, it hurt the whole entire time I was pregnant and exercising was awful. This time around I've had some RLP here and there, but it's been very minimal. The only time I feel pain around my c-section incision is when DS jumps on it. That is not a fun game.

    This pain is worse than the contractions. I have some sharp pains to where I double over and I can feel the incision under the skin. And to think I have at least 10-14 weeks left of this.

    Yikes. That sounds terrible-I'm sorry. :(  I hope you get some relief from that soon. Hopefully that pain doesn't last the whole 10-14 weeks.

    I'd definitely check with your dr if that is normal. I had some discomfort where my incision was during 1st tri that eventually went away, but nothing like what you're describing.
